The United States Junior Chamber is in it’s third year as a non corporate partner with the American Cancer Society, National Team Program. 2009 was a record year for the US Jaycees. More than 200 teams, over 1000 participants (including 107) survivors participated in Relay For Life events around the country.
The Jaycees combined their leadership skills with a passion for Relay and raised a record $284,000 for the American Cancer Society. We were the TOP (out of six) non corporate partners participating in the RFL National Team Program.
To register your team and show your Jaycee Pride as a Non Corporate Partner with the American Cancer Society, it is very easy to get started.

You are now registered to FIGHT BACK with ACS and the US Jaycees. Your team will be viewable through your local RFL event website and on the US Jaycees/RFL Non Corporate Team Page. The best part.....no additional reporting is required for US Jaycees, all online donations are tracked automatically through the website. Offline donations are also reported to your USJC RFL Program Manager on a regular basis. Of course teams are encouraged to verify their information from time to time and report any discrepancies or ask any questions...anytime!
The next step...encourage your team members to go online and register too. Follow the same steps but select, join a team.
You can fundraise directly through your team site, team members can email friends and family, personalize their individual pages, and share their fundraising efforts with their Facebook Friends.
Banners will be available this year on a limited basis and will be available for teams who are registered on the USJC/RFL website and are actively fundraising only. These banners are recyclable and are the same as last year. If your team already has a banner and it is in good condition, please do not request a new one.
Please be sure to take photos at your Relay Fundraisers and Events. Photos and stories can be submitted to your USJC Relay PM. Chapters are also encouraged to submit their stories to the US Jaycees Magazine.
The US Jaycees are committed to FIGHTING BACK alongside the American Cancer Society. We ARE making a difference and saving lives together!!
